ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto contained in Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements” and the other disclosures in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with the disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 31, 2026, as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 of Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on April 30, 2026.

Overview

T1 Energy Inc., a Delaware corporation (“T1”, the “Company”, “we”, or “us”), is an energy solutions provider building an integrated U.S. supply chain for solar modules and cells. We currently manufacture and sell photovoltaic (“PV”) solar modules.

We are one of the leading solar manufacturing companies in the United States, primarily selling into the utility-scale market, the largest solar market segment in the U.S. We produce PV solar modules that employ highly energy efficient Passivated Emitter and Rear Contact and Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact (“TOPCon”) technologies. Our PV solar module manufacturing facility operating in Wilmer, TX (“G1_Dallas”) has a total annual nameplate production capacity of five gigawatts. We believe our facility is one of the most technologically advanced PV solar module plants globally and has achieved annualized run rates above its nameplate capacity. To further expand our U.S. manufacturing footprint, we began construction in December 2025 of the first 2.1-gigawatt phase of our solar cell manufacturing fab in Milam County, Texas (“G2_Austin”). This facility is anticipated to begin production in the first quarter of 2027 of high-efficiency TOPCon solar cells that will be used in the PV solar modules manufactured at G1_Dallas.

Recent Developments

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we recognized total net sales of $250.1 million and $427.8 million, respectively. Additionally, we ended the second quarter with cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $156.4 million.

On April 17, 2026, we completed a public offering of $184.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the “4.00% Convertible Notes due 2031”), which included $24.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.00% Convertible Notes due 2031, pursuant to the underwriters’ option to cover over-allotments.

The 4.00% Convertible Notes due 2031 are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and bear interest of 4.00% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2026. The 4.00% Convertible Notes due 2031 will mature on April 15, 2031, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted.

On June 2, 2026, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire KORE Power, Inc., an established engineering-focused Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and software solutions provider (“KORE”). This transaction closed on July 1, 2026. The purchase enterprise value for the transaction consists of approximately $32.0 million of equity, cash, and assumption of debt, including approximately $9.6 million of closing consideration to be paid in common stock of the Company (subject to certain purchase price adjustments). The approximate closing consideration was initially calculated on June 2, 2026 and assumed (a) $13.1 million of debt to be settled on or prior to closing and (b) $4.5 million of a pre-existing note receivable KORE owed to the Company. Subsequently, we lent an additional $4.1 million to KORE, prior to closing. Therefore, at closing, the note receivable from KORE to the Company was $8.6 million. The pre-existing note receivable is expected to be reduced to zero as part of purchase accounting. The transaction also includes a total potential $9.6 million earn-out for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 payable in common stock of the Company, subject to certain performance metrics, plus a potential $5.5 million paid in common stock of the Company if a certain receivable has been paid to KORE by the payment date for the 2026 earn-out amount (regardless of if the 2026 earn-out is payable).

On July 9, 2026, our Public and Private Warrants expired. On July 10, 2026, the New York Stock Exchange filed a Form 25 to delist the Company's warrants ("TE WS") and remove such securities from registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

On July 27, 2026, T1 G1 Dallas Solar Module LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Borrower”), entered into that certain Waiver, Consent and Amendment No. 8 to Credit Agreement (the “Eighth Amendment”), by and among the Borrower, the lenders party thereto and HSBC Bank USA, N.A., as administrative and collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”), which amends the senior secured credit agreement governing our $235.0 million senior secured credit facility with a consortium of banks, with HSBC Bank USA, N.A. serving as Agent (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”). The Eighth Amendment, among other things, (i) amends the Credit Agreement to modify or remove certain requirements relating to Trina Solar Energy Development Pte. Ltd’s (“TED”) (x) ownership of the Company’s common stock and (y) maintenance of directors appointed by TED on the Company’s board of directors and (ii) provide certain waivers and consents by the requisite lenders relating to the foregoing. The Eighth Amendment became effective upon the closing of the offering of the Company’s 4.75% Convertible Notes due 2031 (as defined herein).

24

On July 28, 2026 we acquired certain solar patents and other intellectual property rights from Evervolt Green Energy Holding Pte Ltd. (“Evervolt”) for total consideration of $135.0 million. We paid $2.0 million on July 27, 2026 in cash and the remaining purchase price is paid or payable by the Company in four tranches: (i) $60.0 million, which was paid in shares of common stock of the Company on July 31, 2026; (ii) $25.0 million, payable on September 30, 2026; (iii) $30.0 million, payable on October 15, 2026; and (iv) $18.0 million, payable on October 30, 2026.

Each of the remaining tranches are payable, at the Company’s election, (a) in cash, (b) by the issuance of our common stock pursuant to the terms of the agreement with Evervolt, or by a mutually agreed-to ratio of (a) and (b).

On July 31, 2026, we completed a private placement of $120.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the “4.75% Convertible Notes due 2031”) to certain qualified institutional buyers.

The 4.75% Convertible Notes due 2031 are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and bear interest of 4.75% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on February 1, 2027. The 4.75% Convertible Notes due 2031 will mature on August 1, 2031, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted.

Regulatory and macroeconomic updates

Demand for our PV solar module offerings depends, in part, on market factors outside our control. For example, the United States has recently announced changes to its global trade policy, including significant tariffs on imports from China, Vietnam, Mexico, Canada, and other countries. These actions, and retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries on U.S. goods and exports, have led to significant volatility and uncertainty in global markets. Additionally, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) introduced new restrictions on equity and debt ownership, material assistance, operational contracts and intellectual property arrangements with Foreign-Influenced Entities (“FIEs”) and/or Specified Foreign Entities (“SFEs”) (collectively, Prohibited Foreign Entities (“PFEs”) and referred to as Foreign Entities of Concern (“FEOC”)) designed to prevent such entities from accessing tax credits available under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”). The Company recognizes compliance with these provisions of the OBBBA as a significant regulatory and business priority, and we are focused and actively working to ensure we maintain compliance with these provisions to allow us and our customers to retain the availability of tax credits in the future.

On December 30, 2025, we announced a series of transactions intended to allow us to continue our eligibility for 45X Tax Credits (as defined herein) in 2026 and beyond (referred to as the “FEOC Restructuring”). In this update, we detailed our actions designed to facilitate compliance with the following requirements:

•Equity: Trina Solar (Schweiz) AG’s (“Trina Solar”) equity holdings have never exceeded the 25% limit under the OBBBA. In addition, to further bolster our compliance position, we have amended our certificate of incorporation to provide certain limits on SFE equity ownership.

•Debt: We raised significant capital in late 2025 and have used certain of that capital, together with shares of common stock, to make a substantial debt repayment to Trina Solar. As a result, the percentage of our debt held by Trina Solar is below the relevant threshold set by the OBBBA.

•Appointment of Covered Officers: We and Trina Solar entered into an agreement that removes Trina Solar’s previous right to appoint a covered officer.

•Effective Control: After careful analysis and diligence, we concluded that we do not have any agreements that would render us an SFE pursuant to the “effective control” provisions of the OBBBA.

•Intellectual Property: We previously licensed certain patents and other intellectual property from Trina Solar. Trina Solar later sold that intellectual property to Evervolt and as a result we licensed the intellectual property from Evervolt. After conducting customary diligence on Evervolt, we believe that Evervolt is not an SFE. As described further above, on July 28, 2026 we acquired such patents and other intellectual property rights from Evervolt.

•Material Assistance: After conducting supply chain diligence, we have purchased solar cells for use in a portion of our PV solar modules to be produced in 2026 from suppliers that have provided certifications of its non-PFE (“MA Compliant”) status and are undertaking diligence to help ensure the remainder of cells for use in 2026 will be MA Compliant. Our efforts to build a domestic supply chain, including domestic cells to be produced at our G2_Austin facility, domestic polysilicon from Hemlock Semiconductor, domestic wafers from Corning, and domestic steel frames from Nextpower are expected to further bolster our ongoing material assistance compliance efforts.

On February 12, 2026, the United States Department of the Treasury released initial guidance pertaining to the implementation of PFE restrictions under the OBBBA. We believe that we remain in compliance with these restrictions and expect to be eligible for 45X Tax Credits. Such guidance is consistent with our interpretation of the relevant OBBBA provisions and validates the compliance plan that we developed and implemented.

New or increased tariffs, changes to existing legislation, and other potential trade policy developments, including with respect to enforceability, are important factors that can impact our business. Historically, tariffs have led to increased trade and political tensions. Political tensions as a result of trade policies could reduce trade volume, investment, and other economic activities between major international economies, resulting in a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and on the stability of global financial markets. There is substantial uncertainty about the duration of existing

tariffs, potential changes to existing tariffs and legislation, and whether additional tariffs may b

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto contained in Part I, Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” and Part I, Item 1 “Business” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for an overview of our operations and business environment.

For a discussion related to changes in financial condition and the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, refer to Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2025.

Overview

T1 Energy Inc., a Delaware corporation (“T1”, the “Company”, “we”, or “us”), is an energy solutions provider building an integrated U.S. supply chain for solar modules and cells. We currently manufacture and sell photovoltaic (“PV”) solar modules.

Recent Developments

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, we recognized total net sales of $358.6 million in the period. Additionally, we ended the fourth quarter with cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $270.8 million.

Capital raises, debt repayments, and other transactions

On October 10, 2025, we entered into a Simple Agreement for Future Equity (the “SAFE”) with Talon PV, LLC. Pursuant to the SAFE, and we invested $5.0 million (the “Purchase Amount”) in exchange for the right to certain shares of Talon’s Capital Stock.

On October 23, 2025, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with existing and new leading institutional investors for the sale and purchase of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, in a registered direct offering (“Registered Direct Offering”) for aggregate gross proceeds of $72.0 million, before deducting $4.6 million fees to the placement agent and other offering expenses payable by us. In connection with the Registered Direct Offering, we issued 22,153,850 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $3.25 per share.

On December 15, 2025, we completed a public offering of 32,525,254 shares of common stock (including 4,242,424 shares of common stock pursuant to the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, which was exercised in full on December 12, 2025) at a public offering price of $4.95 per share (the “Common Stock Offering”) for aggregate gross proceeds of $161.0 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and our offering expenses of $10.5 million.

On December 16, 2025, we completed a public offering of $161.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (the “Convertible Notes”) (including $21.0 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes pursuant to the underwriters’ option to purchase additional Convertible Notes to cover over-allotments, which was exercised in full on December 12, 2025) at a public offering price of 100% of the principal amount thereof (the “Convertible Notes Offering”). The Convertible Notes are the senior unsecured obligations of the Company and bear interest at a rate of 5.25% per annum from and including December 16, 2025, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on June 1, 2026. The Convertible Notes mature on December 1, 2030, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted.

On December 29, 2025 we entered into a payoff letter (“Payoff Letter”) with Trina Solar (Schweiz) AG and TUS pursuant to which (i) all of our obligations under the Trina Solar AG Note were satisfied, discharged and terminated in full and (ii) $155.0 million of the Production Reservation Fee was satisfied, leaving $65.0 million remaining outstanding. In consideration for the satisfaction, discharge and termination of the Trina Solar AG Note in full and the partial discharge of the Production Reservation Fee, we (i) made a cash payment of $274.0 million to Trina Solar (Schweiz) AG and TUS and (ii) issued 3.0 million shares of Common Stock to Trina Solar (Schweiz). Concurrently, we also entered into a waiver agreement with respect to the Sales Agency Agreement, where TUS agreed to waive, discharge and release $34.0 million of Service Fees (as defined under the Sales Agency Agreement). As a result of the debt extinguishment, we recorded a loss of $8.8 million in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

There is substantial uncertainty about the duration of existing tariffs, potential changes to existing tariffs and legislation, and whether additional tariffs may be imposed, modified, or suspended, and the impacts of such actions on our business.

As a leading and growing American advanced solar technology manufacturer, we broadly support tariffs that are intended to benefit the U.S. solar manufacturing industry, investment in reverse technology transfer, and onshoring of critical U.S. energy supply chains. We are specifically in favor of anti-dumping and countervailing duties (AD/CVD) in the ‘Solar 4’ case as well as the potential implementation of a Section 232 tariff on imported polysilicon.

We are operating in an uncertain macroeconomic environment with significant volatility that may impact consumer demand. To the extent the macroeconomic environment worsens, it may have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Net sales

Net sales consist of sales of PV solar modules net of intangible asset amortization for customer contracts. We recognize sales for PV solar modules at a point in time following the transfer of control of the modules to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment or delivery depending on the terms of the underlying contracts.

Total net sales increased by $752.4 million in 2025 compared to 2024. We began selling PV solar modules after our acquisition of all the shares of capital stock of Trina Solar (U.S.) Holding, Inc., a Delaware corporation and related subsidiaries on December 23, 2024 (the “Trin
